6:00-7:00pm Let’s Learn MCP | Model Context Protocol – Empowering Developers with AI Integration - Michael Chu

Abstract:
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as a powerful standard for connecting AI models with tools, data, and workflows in a consistent, extensible way. Instead of reinventing integrations for every project, MCP provides a unified protocol that empowers developers to seamlessly bring AI into their applications, services, and platforms.
In this presentation, we’ll explore:

• What MCP is: a protocol designed to standardize how AI models interact with external systems
• Why it matters: simplifying integrations, reducing friction, and enabling interoperability across diverse environments
• Practical use cases: examples of MCP in action, from developer productivity tools to enterprise applications

By the end of this session, you’ll see how MCP lowers barriers to AI adoption, accelerates innovation, and empowers developers to focus on building intelligent solutions rather than wiring connections. Join us to discover how the Model Context Protocol is becoming the backbone of scalable, community-driven AI integration.
